【明報專訊】THE DEVELOPMENT BUREAU has proposed to develop a ''South Lantau Eco-Recreation Corridor'', hoping to boost the local economy via leisure tourism while also promoting conservation, but some concern groups worry that the project will damage the environment. South Lantau, with its beautiful landscape as well as rich and diverse ecology, has the qualities for developing eco-tourism. However, its capacity must be considered. Over-development or an excessive inflow of people can have a negative impact on the local natural environment and residents' lives. The authorities must have a comprehensive strategy for environmental protection and management measures. The development project should also be carried out cautiously, taking into full consideration the ecological outlook and refraining from needless extravagant constructions.
